1. A method to identify a failure in a logical circuit, the method comprising:

  • receiving non-requested trap data from a plurality of switches forming a logical circuit, the logical circuit spanning first, second, and third logical networks;

    polling first and second switches of the logical circuit exclusive of others of the plurality of switches of the logical circuit, the first switch forming a first network-to-network interface between the first logical network and the second logical network, the second switch forming a second network-to-network interface between the second logical network and the third logical network, and the first and second switches selected for polling based on the trap data indicating a problem at the first and second switches; and

    identifying a failure of the logical circuit without manual intervention based on the polling.
